Chapter 1

I don't own Naruto, just this plot

Five year old Naruko looks at the villagers as the charge for her but she isn't scared. When one gets a few feet from her a strong flam appears in front of her and protects her. She didn't summon it; the flams protect Naruko from anything and everything. The man flies back and is on fire, "help!" he screams, Naruko doesn't like them but she doesn't want to watch him burn.

"The barrel is full of water," she points behind him and he jumps in it, "I am going home now, good bye," she walks away but someone throws a kunai and when it hit the fire defense it melts into nothing, "yes?" she turns around.

"Why did you help him, you could have just let him burn like everyone else who attacks you but you helped him?!" A woman screams.

Naruko sighs, "He asked for help so I helped him, the fire is automatic, so I can't control it!" Naruko leaves and no one follows her.

Two years later

Naruko is wearing a black shirt and pants with a long short sleeved coat on. It is red with orange flames on the bottom and ends of the sleeves and two flam hair ties hold up her two pony tails. She walks through town to school and everyone stops what they are doing to make a path for her. No one really likes her but they are so scared of being burned that they are more cautions around her. The third hokage has given her two Anbu guards to watch her but they are as use full as throwing water on her fire defense.

Naruko walks into class and sits by Sasuke, the only kid that doesn't hate her completely; he just hates a few of her quirks, "hello Naruko."

"Hi Sasuke," Naruko says, "Did I miss anything yesterday?" Naruko misses school a lot because she has to talk to the third or he just wants her to skip it.

"Not really, we talked about water jutsu, your only weakness," Sasuke says smiling.

"Shut it before anyone gets any ideas," Naruko smiles and him and pulls her arms closer, she wanted to playfully punch him, but that was out of the question.

Iruka walks in, "Naruko Uzumaki you need to go to the hokage's office," he says.

"Come on." Naruko say irritated, "bye Sasuke," she walks to Iruka.

"Sorry Naruko but he need to talk to you about something again," Iruka say sympathetically.

"I know, that is the only reason he takes me out of class, bye Iruka – sensei," Naruko runs out of the school. She wants to go back and have one normal day. When she goes inside the lady at the desk doesn't say anything, she just continues her work. Naruko ignores her and goes up to the hokage's office, "hey old man, what is it this time?!" Naruko say when she opens the door and she instantly know it is a mistake when she see the kazekage. She forgot that he was coming today.

"So you are Naruko Uzumaki," he say not impressed.

"You can call me Kaji no Naruko, or Naruko of the fire," she says smiling, "it is a nickname I got from the villagers and I like it."

"She has the fire defense, hokage, why are you asking for my help?"

"I heard you have a child like her in your village and I wanted to ask if…"

"Oh my kami, you are trying to get rid of me!" Naruko screams in horror, "I have had enough of this…"

"Naruko," the third say sternly, "let me finish! Now as I was saying, I wanted to ask if you could help train her to control her fire like your son can control his sand," the third says.

"Sand, old man sand is nothing like fire, I can burn people if I touch then and what does sand do if you touch it? Nothing absolutely nothing!"

"She is more vocal then Garra and she looks well rested," the kazekage says and looks at her.

"What do you, oh now I get it, yeah Kurama lets me sleep as much as I want without taking over as long as I don't try to mess with his little fire barrier."

"I will train her," the kazekage says, "When can I take her?"

"Wait what, this isn't fair, old man shouldn't this be my choice?!"

"We will travel to the sand tomorrow and I will be accompanying you two," the third says ignoring her.

"I am not leaving without a fight!" And with that Naruko vanishes. She sits on a dock on top of a large lake that she trains at. Stupid hokage, stupid kazekage, I don't need their help!

"I know about that Garra boy, he is worse off than you. He can't sleep and he only lives to kill people," Kurama says.

Well what am I supposed to do, just pack up and move to the sand for who knows how long?!

"Naruko," Sasuke says and runs to her, "I thought you would be here."

"Hi Sasuke, I need a friend right now," Naruko sighs.

"Well this is the way to my house, what happened?"

"The hokage wants to move me to the sand!"

"For how long?"

"I don't know I just stormed out of there because they were talking like I wasn't there and I was just a thing they were trading!" Naruko punches the dock.

"Well I won't let them take you," Sasuke says and Naruko looks at him confused, "you said you don't want to leave so I will protect you from them."

"Thank you Sasuke," Naruko gets up but slips because part of the dock is wet. Sasuke grabs her hand before she falls in but she is burning him, "let go!" She pushes him away and she falls in.

"Naruko, are you ok?!" Sasuke puts his hands out, "grab on."

Naruko wants to but she knows she can't, "I can't Sasuke, I will just burn you again." Sasuke looks at his hand and it is burned very badly.

"I don't care just take my hand I will pull you up!" Naruko grabs the dock and pulls herself up and she is soaked, "are you ok?"

"Yeah I just feel like a wet cat," Naruko says laughing, but Sasuke does something stupid and hugs her. "Sasuke what are you doing?!" She pushes him away before he is hurt too badly.

"I know that I shouldn't touch you but I want to Naruko," Sasuke says, "let's leave the village together and then we can train together to help you control your fire and then we can…"

"Sasuke," Naruko says then Anbu comes.

"Kaji no Naruko, come with us," ones says he points a kunai at her; "you have been a bad girl Kaji."

"Let's go, and you," the other one looks at Sasuke, "stay away from her and go home little boy."

Naruko looks at him sadly, "good by Sasuke," she turns around, "let's just go already!" and she runs, the Anbu follow her and one puts the kunai away. He never intended on using it on Naruko but on the only person that she cares about that can be hurt.

"Wait out here," on says and the two Anbu men enter his office and Naruko sits down and waits for them. Run, run away from everything.

"Don't get any ideas Kit, you know our deal."

YES I DO, JUST SHUT UP AND LEAVE ME ALONE FOR A MINUTE, Naruko screams in her head.

"You should count yourself lucky that I don't make you want to kill everyone and even talk to you, I let you spar that man instead of letting you watch him burn to the ground like he should have!"

I KNOW ALREADY, I AM NOT IN THE MOOD TO TALK RIGHT NOW!

"Kaji," the Anbu man says and she walks inside.

"Her name is Naruko," the third corrects him.

"I looks like you have cooled down," the kazekage says looking at how wet Naruko is.

"Yeah I just fell into a lake," Naruko says, "and I feel much better and now I know that this isn't my decision to make because I am a child. The third is the leader of the village and knows best so grandpa, when do we leave," Naruko says. The way she says it though makes her sound she is going to burn them alive.

"Tomorrow," the kazekage says, "go home and pack."

The third is about to stop him but it is too late, "the villagers destroyed most of my things and tried to burn me alive yesterday so my apartment is ashes, along with everything I used to own. I want to leave as soon as we can, please."

"We can leave now," the kazekage says, the third knows and they leave for the sand. Sasuke stops them at the gates though.

"Naruko, you are actually going to leave with them?!"

"Sasuke, please just go home," Naruko says, "This isn't my choice to make anymore!"

"No you always have a choice Naruko, you know what you can do," Sasuke says and Naruko holds her arms.

"GO home boy," the Anbu man says and pushes him, big mistake.

"DON'T TOUCH HIM," Naruko hisses and the Anbu man is on fire, the second one puts him out.

"Come on Naruko," Sasuke says.

"Naruko, we are leaving now before you have another episode," the kazekage says and they walk away.

"Good bye Sasuke," Naruko says, "I hope we can see each other again."

They walk away but Sasuke throws her something, Naruko catches it, "what is this," she holds it out and it has the Uchiha symbol necklace.

"Good luck," Sasuke screams to Naruko then leaves, "come home soon."

"Thank you," she mutters t herself and hugs it.

After a day of traveling they get to the sand, "welcome back kazekage – Sama," the guards bow.

They walk to the Kazekage's tower and two kids are standing there, the girl looks about nine and the boy looks about eight, the girl has blond hair in four pony tail in the back of her head and is wearing a long sleeve blues shirt with gray pants. The boy has brown hair and is wearing a long sleeve black shirt and blues pants. "Hi dad," the girl says.

"Naruko these are my children, Temari and Konkuro," the kazekage says, "and this is Naruko; she is going to be staying with us for a wail."

"Nice to meet you," Naruko tries to say respectfully, I wonder what I can do to make sure they stay away from me, oh what prank should I pull on them? Kurama sighs.

"It is nice to meet you Naruko," Temari hold out her hand but Naruko crosses her. Temari lets her hand fall, "do you want to play a game?"

"Sure," the three children run out of the office.

"I guess they can introduce her to Garra, now hokage we need to talk about how long she will stay in the sand," the kazekage sits down.

"Yes of course," the hokage sits down too.

Naruko kicks the ball back to Temari, "this is really fun," Naruko says. A lot more kids are playing with them until one accidently kicks the ball on top of the gate.

"Sorry," he says.

Then sand brings it down to a boy with red hair and he holds it out, "here," he says

Naruko runs up to him and takes the ball, "thank you, do you want to play, we have an odd number."

The red head boy smiles but then a girl screams, "Naruko he can't play with us, get away from him before he kills you!"

Naruko looks back confused, "oh now I get it," Naruko throw the girl the ball, "do you want to play something else with me?" Temari and Konkuro run away to somewhere ele.

"You aren't scared of me?"

"Nope," Naruko says smiling, "are you afraid of me?"

"No, you are really nice," he says. They sit down on the swings, "I am Sabaku no Garra, or Garra of the sand," he says.

What are the odds, "I am Naruko Uzumaki, Kaji no Naruko or Naruko of the fire," she says smiling.

"Wow," Garra says.

"Do you want to get something to eat Garra?" Naruko asks, "are there any ramen shops in Suna?"

"Yes, follow me," Garra and Naruko go to the only ramen shop in Suna and the own in a jerk to Garra.

"Stay out you little," the owner starts.

Naruko looks at him angry, "hey we are paying customers, you should be nicer," Naruto takes out her frog wallet and shows him that she has a lot of money, "now should we go somewhere else or…"

"Please sit down," the man changes his tune.

"Wow how did you do that?"

"Easy, power of money," Naruko says and they eat. Later they are walking around Suna until two Konoha Anbu ninjas stop them.

"Kaji," he growls at Naruko, "where have you been, you have been missing for most of the day!"

"I was just hanging out with Garra, it isn't my fault that Temari and Konkuro ran away," Naruko counters.

"You are coming back with us now," one hold out a kunai.

"And what are you going to do with that, kill me or start a war with Suna and Konoha?" Naruko has them beat for once; they can't attack Garra or her.

"Just come with us, the hokage thinks you were kidnapped again," he says and pus his weapon away.

"That was a cheap shot and you know it," Naruko says, "and I will go back when I want to, he can make me move here but he cannot control where I go."

"Water style," one starts.

"Come with us or we will blast you with water."

"FINE," Naruko says annoyed, "and stop charging your stupid attack!" she looks at Garra sadly, "Sorry Garra I have to go."

"Where are you going?"

"Kazekage's tower," Naruko says.

"Let's go then," Garra says and they all walk back to the tower, "hello father," Garra greets the kazekage.

"Naruko where have you been," the hokage asks.

"Playing with other kids, is that a problem grandpa?"

"I see you met my son Garra, he is the one who will be helping you with your problem," the kazekage says.

"Problem, what problem Naruko?"

"Well, um it is easier to show you then tell," Naruko gives one of the Anbu men a kunai, "throw it at me as hard as you can," she says.

"Alright," he says and he throws it at her and Garra uses his sand to stop it.

"What are you doing, that would have killed you?!"

Naruko sighs grabs the kunai and stabs her hand, "just watch," the kunai vanishes into ash and fire appears in front of her hand, "I am called Kaji no Naruto for a reason," she hold out her hand it she is completely unharmed.

"You are like me," Garra asks.

"Yes, I guess I am," they smile.

"Dear Kami what have I done," the hokage says.

"Don't worry hokage, I can keep them under control," Kazekage gets up and walks to them, "it is late you two go to the dining room and then we will eat." They leave, "so are you sure about our agreement hokage – dono?"

"Yes I am, she will stay here until we want her back," the hokage and his Anbu leave, "but a good tip is to keep a water style user around her at night."

The kazekage walks into the dining room to see Temari and Konkuro on one side other table and Naruto and Garra on the other, "this is going to be a long year," he says and sits at the front of the table, after they eat everyone gets ready for bed. Naruko looks at her new room, a bed, a vanity with a mirror, and a dresser. There is also a closet full of Naruko's hand made uniform.

Garra walks in, "are you settling in ok?"

"Yeah thanks," Naruko says and buttons up her night shirt. She puts on her new night hat that looks just like her only one. "I am beat, what about you?"

"Oh um I don't sleep," Garra says hoping Naruko doesn't sleep either.

"Oh, well can you stay in here until I fall asleep please," Naruko asks, "it is a stupid habit now but I am used to feeling someone in the same room as me when I am trying to go to sleep."

"Sure," Garra says and he lay by her in her bed. Naruko falls asleep after a few minutes but Garra doesn't leave or move. He starts to feel tired to and accidently falls asleep.

"Give the boy one night." Kurama says to Shukaku.

"Fine," Shukaku says and lets Garra sleep without taking over his body.

"Did Garra fall asleep in here?!" Temari asks worried, "what if he hurts Naruko?"

"Well let's see, maybe he ran away," Konkuro says and they look in Naruko's room to see Garra and Naruko asleep. Temari screams and Naruko and Garra wake up and look at her.

"What is wrong?!" Naruko asks worried and looks around.

"Garra was asleep but he didn't turn," Konkuro says.

Naruko gets up, "well yeah, one night free be," Naruko says, "now please leave so I can change," Konkuro and Temari leave and Naruko changes. So Garra what are we going to do today? What is wrong Garra?"

"Why did you tell them to leave and not me when you changed?"

"Well I like you," Naruko says, "and don't want you to leave." Garra smiles and they go to the dining room and everyone can sense the change in Garra.

"Morning," the kazekage says, "did you all sleep well."

Everyone answers yes, except for Garra. After breakfast Naruko and Garra go out to train, "so how do you control your sand?"

"It is an automatic defense, I can't control it when it is protecting me but I can make it into move to attack," Garra raises his arm and the sand moves up with it.

"Cool," Naruko tries it but nothing happens, "well let's try this." Naruko makes it look like she is smacking someone and a large flam comes out.

"Do you have any moves you can use with it?"

"No not really," Naruko says, "I don't want to use it like a weapon, I want it to stop protecting me unless I am in real danger."

"What do you mean?"

"I can't touch anyone and they can touch me or the get burned," Naruko says.

"That isn't true, I touched you last night," Garra says the puts his hand on her arm, "and I am touching you now."

"What the, but he never let's," Naruko says confused.

"Let's make up a few moves for you to use," Garra says and she nods.

"She is learning faster than I thought," the Kazekage says, "In your opinion, when will she have control like Garra?" He asks Baki.

"I think she will be ready by the time the next chunnin exams rolls around and they are both genin," Baki says.

"Good," the kazekage says, "I will be putting her on the same team with my children and Garra, I hope you don't mine," he says but he doesn't mean it.

"She is probably going to be the only one who can keep Garra calm so it is fine," Baki says like he has a choice about it.

"Garra watch this," Naruko holds out both of her hands, lifts them up the slams them into the ground, "fire wave!" A large about of fire wave comes out and stops at the end of the training area, "I can make it bigger or smaller, and I can still control it," Naruko makes the flams go into the air the turns it into a dragon flying around, but the dragon just flies low, around Garra and Naruko so they don't draw attention.

"Garra, do you like it here?"

"What do you mean?"

"Is everyone here mean to you," Naruko asks.

"Yes, my father has tried to have me killed a few times now," Garra says, "and everyone is scared of me."

"Well that is close to the story of my life, but I don't have any parents or blood related family still alive," Naruko says. "All I have is my one friend that I burned, a teacher who cares about me like I was his daughter. I almost killed him by burning him alive and being attacked by an angry mob doesn't help either," Naruko laughs a bit. "And now I was forced to move here, but I guess it is fine since you are my friend now," Naruto grabs his hand and he squeezes back.

Well I hope you like the chapter : )

I have been thinking about this idea for a wail now and I hope it turned out ok.
